They should really start banning the teamkillers. It takes away the fun. I mean after thousands of games you are finally lucky to get that hero pickup just to get killed by someone who isn't intelligent enough to know who is on his side. Also I think the speeder bike shouldn't be able to instakill heroes at all.

Issue: Got a hero twice in one one match of Walker Assault on the Endor map. Both times I picked Emperor Palpatine. Both times I was killed by someone ramming me with a speeder bike (it was the same...person...both times too). The first time I was almost at full health, the second time my health was at 61%.

Can you reproduce this issue 100% of the time: I'll let you know if it happens again...very frustrating...

This has become something that players do on purpose now. I got lucky enough to have found the hero pickup 3 times but all three times, almost immediately, there was a player there waiting for me to spawn as the hero just to speed boost the speeder bike and then jump off and it immediately kills you. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP. makes games unplayable

I was playing Walker Assault on Forest Moon of Endor on X1. Three times I picked up a hero power-up during the round. The first two times, I chose Vader, and each time, within about three seconds of running (I hadn't yet engaged anyone), a speeder bike spawned right on my position, instantly killing me. (Each time, during the cinematic of my death, an Imperial player appeared on the bike after a moment. The game told me I had been killed by "speeder bike.") The third time, thinking it might be a Vader glitch, I chose Palpatine. Again, after a few seconds, I was instantly killed by a speeder bike. This time, it told me I was killed by FaultyStream523 — who appeared as a Stormtrooper on the bike but was playing for the Rebel team.

This is a case of someone launching the speeder at you and jumping off, it's possible to kill team mates playing as a Hero by simply going at them on a speeder at speed. Trolls exploit bugs like this, simply jump on a speeder and right before you hit the hero, press the button to leave the speeder, the speeder continues on for a second at that same speed, killing anyone it happens to come into contact with, since it's technically now a 'neutral vehicle', it should honestly be patched so speeders remain a teams property for 3 seconds after leaving it before resetting to neutral, that way it can't be exploited.

Think of it like getting out an AT-ST which...proceeds to fall on you and kill you, it counts as a hazard like Lava, but more of the 'insta-kill' variety. It's a **** move to use, especially if you're the sort to camp on Hero Token spawns and kill someone with such an exploit just because they took it and you wasted all that time camping, rather than fighting.

It's also a way for people who have friends on the other team to sabotage the game, I had a guy constantly grabbing Luke then getting him crushed by someone (happened at least 6 times in a single supremacy) while the Empire pushed us back because they had a Hero and we didn't because of that one guy, it cost us the match. I think in the end his K/D was 12/30 yet he was somehow still near the top of the scoreboard.

The bikes (your own teammates atop them) aren't "spawning" next to you...they're waiting adjacent to your spawn point, for you to appear as Vader, so the can kill you. I often find it's really tricky making sure my bike's foils are pointed exactly at the right spot to get Vader by the big drums near the landing platform in WA spawn. I usually miss, and then have to go chasing him to get the kill.

I try to time it exactly after his intro and he has power of movement, then launch at him. So he gets his little intro, then "no game for you!"

Wha-? You know if you get banned enough times they can and probably will find your IP address and ban you for LIFE. If I were you. I would stop now before it gets out of hand. Also. There is an issue reporting category in these forums. Please post this there.

There are so many problems that have been in game since day one, and haven't even been addressed. It's pathetic. DICE and EA fanboys will stick up for them regardless of how little they've actually done. I personally will never buy another DICE product. The sad part is that this game could have been something. In Arnold's voice, "it lacks passion." They did just enough to make a product. I hope they know that this version of Battlefront is a poor representation of the Battlefront series. Is it beautiful? Yes.
The game play mechanics are okay, but everything else is missing. It's a joke how little they care about fixing bugs. Shame on you DICE. I just hope the next developer of Battlefront 2 reads these and Reddits forums to avoid the same mistakes DICE is making with this game.

Below is a pasted-in comment that I wrote back on 07-07-16....

Great News!

Today, 07-07-16, Dennis (aka: FireWall), an EA SW Dev, responded about the speeder bike team killing issue on the post by PassiveKillJoy (and i2CRE8TOR): “Team Killing Solution.” See that post for additional if interested.

Just wanted to share in case anyone was not aware that this community got a response from the Devs.

THE PROBLEM: Currently , a player on a speeder bike can intentionally/on-purpose kill his team members (team infantry and team heroes) by dismounting a speeder bike just prior to the speeder bike colliding into his own team members (team infantry and team heroes).

We're going to fix the speeder bike team killing problems. The suggestion of having to stop the bike in order to get off it could potentially be a good one. We're looking into it.

Dennis

Its been almost 2 months since he said that. 2 MONTHS. That's ridiculous. One patch happened they didn't fix it and now we probably won't get an August patch. If we all pray we might just might receive it in the Death Star patch.

@EmmaFett10304,
Given my previous reply which I pasted-in above in my comment...
Me and my son have supported posts involving this exploit topic. Below are my past comments (which I actually shortened too.)

Me and my son (BFront partner) love this game... it is awesome. It is the only game we own and play. That being said...

My 'Line-In-The-Sand' (Do Not Cross Point) regarding this t-rated, family friendly sandbox game contains these 2 current unfortunate exploits of:

1 ) Intentionally Killing/Defeating Same Team Members via Speeder Bike and
2 ) Intentionally Spawn Killing/Defeating Opposing Team Members

EA would be wise to weed out ANY (cheese-ball) player that Intentionally Speeder Bike Kills Same-Teams Members or Intentional Spawn Kills Opposing-Team Members... It is there job to 'protect' this game of theirs.. in the end.

Lets be frank… for any OP who knows about this speeder bike exploit… it ‘rarely’ happens unintentionally… and ‘almost’ always happens intentionally.

If I was on the disciplinary action review panel for this game... ANY player that was determined by any posted gaming video...

1 ) To intentionally use a speeder bike to defeat/kill same team members

OR

1 ) To intentionally seek out a spawn point OR
2 ) To unintentionally came across or discovered a spawn point but then intentionally choose to stay in that area AND...
3 ) Then repeatedly defeat/kill opposing team members in that area...

… would get BANNED immediately (length to be determined)... no warning... it is called common sense which these cheesy type players clearly lack..

Intentional Speeder Bike Team Killing and Intentionally Spawn Killing Opposing Team Members are my line in the sand for this game...

Even this noob gaming family (including my son) knows instinctively... you do not intentionally speeder bike team kill OR intentionally stay in a spawning area and repeatedly defeat/kill opposing team members...

But for these type of cheesy players, I am sure they will hide behind the excuse of,,, "well it is a problem in the Devs game/mode design."

The good thing for the cheesy players is that I know that when they look at themselves in the mirror... they really know that they are currently a cheesy player for their poor sportsmanship game play choice that they have made thus far.

Furthermore, the good news is that these cheesy players can decide to change... but they have to want to change.

Just like a well know saying....
"You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make the horse drink.'
OR
they can be like the other well know saying...
"As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats its folly."

I know the term 'cheesy player' may seem harsh... but in these cases... it kind of fits perfectly.

Again… EA would be wise to weed out ANY (cheese-ball) player that Intentionally Speeder Bike Kills Same-Teams Members or Intentional Spawn Kills Opposing-Team Members... It is there job to 'protect' this game of theirs.. in the end.

Great post icre8tor! I have video proof of this as well since I was streaming on twitch. He did it to the whole team the entire match and when I called him out by tag the mods warned me and deleted my original post. Some players never get hero token and when they do they have to worry about this. These players who exploit this should be banned. Hydeestar and casiopedroso have done it to me and I will post their tags if I want to. They should be publicly shamed lol. Love that you and you're kid play together by the way!

Yeah... it is really unfortunate that this exploit was not fixed/solved back... when SKIRMISH or BESPIN dropped.

Me and my son are still glad that Dennis at least acknowledged the problem... so we will see.

I was attempting to have my 2 'comments' above back-to-back... but @Proniq7777 beat me.

Thanks... me and my son still really, really enjoy playing this awesome game.

And Props too... for putting yourself out there regarding this exploit. :

I hardly ever play walker assault, but figured I'd give it another try. So I was killed twice by my team mate and a third time while I was Boba Fett. So I'm done with walker assault lol, what a crap mode. Can't believe it's the most popular. I'll stick to blast.

Its just 2 months. I'm not a patient person. And I probably never will. But you gotta give them time. Don't insult them when they are listening to us. If its a fix. Then its a fix! Just not an instant one. You can't make an update/patch and expect it to be done in a couple days. That things takes weeks! Even months!

This has been an issue for months. Instead of adding less time for count down "which they fixed because nobody ask for it" they should be sticking to the real problems. We aren't insulting them we are giving constructive criticism. AAA games shouldn't have this many problems period.

It is really, really unfortunately... 'cruddy' to be frank (and not get ****** asterisked out).

I know the last thing me and my son thought about when we started playing STAR WARS BFront together was...

"Okay, this is going to be cool... now, I just hope neither of us get defeated/killed...
BY ONE OF OUR OWN TEAM MEMBERS ON A SPEEDER BIKE."... What?

... and yeah... maybe the Devs will possibly see again that this exploit is still considered to be a significant problem by some (hopefully a lot) of their BFront player base.
